Freddie was in musical terms well ahead of his time - that is what makes him immortal. He became the legend he wanted to become. I hope that in the moments of greatest triumph he realised what a truly fantastic talent he was - and his band members.

But I feel sorry for him that he grew up in a time where it was (more) difficult to live the life he wanted without fear to be exposed to the public. Maybe he would not have led such a tumultuous private life that left him being surrounded by friends - but lonely.
